Watching the Watchmen: Examining Moore's Comic and Snyder's Movie

With the HBO watchmen series coming out it felt an appropriate time to revisit the source material and to this point the only screen adaptation other than the show (which is a sequel). The film and comic will be analysed and compared throughout this video. Watchmen is Alan Moore's 1986 seminal graphic novel; now belonging to DC it explores the idea of morally ambiguous superheroes within a more realistic world than was typically offered in comic books at the time (though there are some obvious otherworldly elements). It was famously referred to as un-adaptable and un-continuable but in 2009 it was adapted into Zack Snyder's mostly faithful film and this year has been continued in the form of the 2019 series which is explicitly NOT connected to the film, being solely connected to the comic (some details the film removes or alters remain unaltered in the series). #Watchmen #HBOWATCHMEN #ZackSnyder #AlanMoore #WhoWatchesTheWatchmen #DCcomics #DoomsdayClock
